I hope the law gives him a break. the dog agrees with some of the points in the article...but if burress had happened to accidentally shoot someone else rather than himself, the dog wonders if the same perspective would be taken. the problem is, if you are going to carry a weapon to protect yourself, you best know how to use it and be safe with it...in the end, he was extremely lucky that he didn't harm anyone else.

Its easy to feel bad for him since he didnt kill anyone. If that did happen than it all goes out the window. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr. P Posted December 18, 2008 Share Posted December 18, 2008 to me the issue isnt that he had a gun its that he had a gun he wasnt licensed to carry Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Martin Posted December 18, 2008 Author Share Posted December 18, 2008 I just dont that putting Plax behind bars for 3 1/2 years is the right thing! He is not a criminal He is however stupid He should be punished but not the fullest extent of the law. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nas Posted December 18, 2008 Share Posted December 18, 2008 get a bodyguard or don't go out. I don't know about all that. Just go out with a bunch of friends, don't show off your "bling", and go to places you're least likely to face trouble... LQs isn't one of those places.

Just for the record, I've spoken to a few gun enthusiasts since the incident and from what I've been told the gun he was carrying does not have a safety.

Mr. P Posted December 18, 2008 Share Posted December 18, 2008 if it was a glock 40 which i think it was there are models of that which dont have a safety Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sephiroth Posted December 18, 2008 Share Posted December 18, 2008 Interesting perspective. I met a guy at the game two weeks ago who said he used to work at the club Burress frequented. He said they used to get famous people all the time in there and they NEVER patted anyone down or searched anybody. If a famous athlete was coming into the club they knew they were probably dropping ten grand, so nobody really gave a shit what they brought into the club.

Virginia Giant Posted December 19, 2008 Share Posted December 19, 2008 if it was a glock 40 which i think it was there are models of that which dont have a safety Close, it doesn't have a classic type safety, it has Glocks trigger safety, I won't go into it because I've never owned a Glock and am not well versed in them, but from a quick read the idea of the trigger safetyu is to prevent accidental discharge in the event the trigger is caught in clothing. However, having a round in the breech, the gun in the pocket, in a bar, with alcohol...Plax is no innocent. As much as I like Plax and would hate to see him locked up, thats what needs to happen. If he is slapped on the wrist and let go with no real punishment, that just adds fuel to the fire for the anti gun creeps. The people that need to be made an example of are the guys who feel it's ok if they enter a bar strapped with a loaded weapon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JayD Posted December 19, 2008 Share Posted December 19, 2008 I just dont understnd the "he's not a criminal, but a scared little boy" crap. The man had a loaded weapon on him, that he knew he had no lawful reason to carry. Let the law of the land prevail. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ggirl Posted December 19, 2008 Share Posted December 19, 2008 I think if I felt I needed a gun to protect myself, I would not go out. simple. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NightFire Posted December 19, 2008 Share Posted December 19, 2008 I think if I felt I needed a gun to protect myself, I would not go out. simple. Or to a bar where you probably will get into some kind of trouble. When Smith was robbed he was just unfortunate but Plax went out and was just looking for trouble. I guess when you are a Narcissist though going out all iced up seems like a good idea. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
